My friend was a retired LA. State Trooper. He was short, around 5' 5" with short arms. He had been a firearms instructor and SWAT member for years for the State Police.That rifle Is an abomination, I love it.
and it’s about to be up for sale again.
I hope you've learned your lesson...
Thou shalt not sell thy firearms!
I'll keep listening to Gunny's teachings.
His lessons on character are absolutely amazing. I hope to be the human he is someday.
Very well done @GunnyUSMC .
My apologies for your loss, sir, glad you have good memories of your friend you can share with us, thank you.My friend was a retired LA. State Trooper. He was short, around 5' 5" with short arms. He had been a firearms instructor and SWAT member for years for the State Police.
He wanted a short, light weight, rifle that he could carry in his vehicle. We sat down one day and picked out the parts he wanted. Here is a list of the parts.
Brownell's 14.5" 1-12 retro pencil barrel.
YHM phantom flash hider, pinned and welded.
Carbine triangle handguards from JSE Surplus.
Aero upper no forward assist.
Anderson Lower.
Nickel Boron BCG, don't remember the brand.
UTG Entry Buttstock kit.
Trimmed and stippled A2 grip by GunnyUSMC
The build cost $600. He bought the parts and I built it.
The first trip to the range my friend put over 300 down range with no problems.
He really loved the gun but threaten to shoot me with it when I told him I was going to call it the T-REX.
My friend passed away a few months later from brain cancer.
